Dear sPHENIX collaborators,

We just received the excellent news that we have DOE's "approval for routine operations":
The Department of Energy Brookhaven Site Office (BHSO) has reviewed Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA) request for approval for Routine Operations of sPHENIX. BHSO has observed that an Internal Readiness Review (IRR) was performed, and the IRR Review Team has verified that all IRR Pre-start Findings have been closed.

BHSO approves your request for Routine Operations of sPHENIX.
There are many people to thank for getting us past this significant milestone, and you have all contributed.  For the experiment, the primary consequence is that we can flow liquid helium to start cooling the solenoid and we can begin taking steps to flow operating gases in the TPC and TPOT.  Onward to physics!

Regards,
Dave and Gunther
